Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 15 February to 31 May
Reason: Nesting Birds
2023 26th February update: The Ravens do not appear to be using the existing nest in Gardoms Unconquerable - however one more check will be made in case they are late starting, so please be observant and report any sightings if you are in the area.
In recent years a Tawny Owl has nested in the Layback Crack/Flake Crack.area - it is not known if they are present in 2023 but please keep your eyes and ears out if climbing in this area.
Rockfax Description
The steep slab is especially sketchy for the short. Side-runners drop the grade a notch or two. Loss of a hold may have made this a touch harder than it used to be. © Rockfax

βeta: 5" climber, could do the moves to get up on toprope, so doable for shorter climber, but need more attempts to put it together. Not sure I would ever attempt as lead! | βeta? | |

βeta: Found this hard, two poor crimps, high rockover onto small foothold and a slap for the top. More like E3 6a to me (5'6" by the way). | βeta? | |
